The Unification Epicenter of True Lightworkers
Scientific revelations are published almost daily in regard to the healing properties of the cannabis. But most of these findings appear solely in obscure, peer-reviewed journals and go largely unnoticed by the major media. Here are five new cannabis-centric studies that warrant mainstream attention.
Marijuana Use Is Associated With Decreased Mortality In TBI Patients
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients with a history of cannabis use possess increased survival rates compared to non-users, according data published this month in the journal American Surgeon. UCLA Medical Center investigators conducted a three-year retrospective review of brain trauma patients. Data from 446 separate cases of similarly injured patients was assessed. Of those patients who tested positive for the presence of marijuana, 97.6 percent survived surgery. By contrast, patients who tested negative for the presence of pot prior to surgery possessed only an 88.5 percent survival rate.
"Previous studies conducted by other researchers had found certain compounds in marijuana helped protect the brain in animals after a trauma," the study’s lead author said in a press release. "This study [is] one of the first in a clinical setting to specifically associate THC use as an independent predictor of survival after traumatic brain injury."
CBG Administration Halts Cancer Progression
The administration of the nonpsychotropic plant cannabinoid cannabigerol (CBG) possessespotent anti-colon cancer activities and inhibits cancerous tumor growth, according to data published in September in the journal Carcinogenesis. A team of Italian researchers at the University of Naples assessed the effects of CBG on colon tumorigenesis. Investigators reported that the compound promoted apoptosis (cancer cell death) and reduced cell growth in colorectal cancer cells. CBG dosing also inhibited colorectal tumor growth in animals. Authorsconcluded: “CBG hampers colon cancer progression in vivo and selectively inhibits the growth of colorectal cancer cells. … CBG should be considered translationally in colorectal cancer prevention and cure.”
Parkinson’s Patients Respond Favorably to Cannabis Therapy
Patients with Parkison’s disease report significant improvement following cannabinoid therapy. Writing in September in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, investigators at the University of São Paulo in Brazil reported on the efficacy of the plant cannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) versus placebo in 21 subjects with Parkinson's. Authors reported that the administration of 300 mg doses of CBD per day was associated with "significantly different mean total scores" in subjects' well-being and quality of life compared to placebo.
The Brazilian study is the second paper in recent months specific to the potential healing effects of cannabinoids in PD patients. In April, researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel reported that the inhalation of whole-plant improves various symptoms of PD in a cohort of 22 subjects. Marijuana use was associated with "significant improvement after treatment in tremor, rigidity, and bradykinsea (slowness of movement),” authors reported in the journal Clinical Neuropharmacology. They added: “There was also significant improvement of sleep and pain scores. No significant adverse effects of the drug were observed."
Marijuana Use Mitigates Symptoms of Opiate Withdrawal
Cannabis consumption is associated with reduced symptoms of opiate withdrawal in subjects undergoing methadone maintenance treatment, according to recent findings published in The American Journal on Addictions. Investigators at the Farber Institute for Neurosciences at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia assessed the use of cannabis in 91 opiate-dependent subjects undergoing methadone maintenance treatment. Authors reported that subjects' pot use during treatment was associated with less severe symptoms of withdrawal on the clinical opiate withdrawal scale (COWS), an index designed to serve as an objective measure of opiate withdrawal. "[I]ncreased cannabis use was found to be associated with lower severity of [opiate] withdrawal in a subset of the sample with available chart data," authors concluded. "These results suggested a potential role for cannabis in the reduction of withdrawal severity during methadone induction."
Inhaled Cannabis Facilitates Disease Remission In Patients With Crohn’s Disease
Inhaling cannabis reduces symptoms of Crohn's disease compared to placebo in patients who have not been responsive to conventional pharmaceutical therapies, according to clinical trial data published recently in the journal Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology. Researchers at the Meir Medical Center, Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology in Israel assessed the safety and efficacy of inhaled cannabis versus placebo over a period of eight weeks in 21 subjects with treatment-resistant Crohn's disease. Investigators reported, "Our data show that 8-weeks treatment with THC-rich cannabis, but not placebo, was associated with a significant decrease of 100 points in CDAI (Crohn's Disease and activity index) scores." Five of the eleven patients in the study group also reported achieving disease remission (defined as a reduction in patient's CDAI score by more than 150 points). Overall, inhaled cannabis treatment was associated with “no significant side effects.”

Psychology Today tries to establish the difference between these two synonymous Arts of Being Alone:
“Loneliness is a negative state, marked by a sense of isolation. One feels that something is missing. It is possible to be with people and still feel lonely—perhaps the most bitter form of loneliness.
Solitude is the state of being alone without being lonely. It is a positive and constructive state of engagement with oneself. Solitude is desirable, a state of being alone where you provide yourself wonderful and sufficient company.”
*****
Loneliness then, could count as a feeling, while solitude transcends the feeling-only state and reaches deeper into the architecture of the soul and, if fully embraced, serves as a confirmation of the individual’s eternal and sufficient nature.
But life is complicated and our hearts are polyglots. We speak more than one language, sometimes, simultaneously. So what to do when our solitude and our loneliness decide to join each other, and be together in the aloneness?
Well, we call a poet. (Handwritten letters preferred.) And perhaps there is no better one at soothing our postmodern angst and teaching us the difficult mastery of solitude than Rainer Maria Rilke.
“Therefore, dear Sir, love your solitude and try to sing out with the pain it causes you. For those who are near you are far away… and this shows that the space around you is beginning to grow vast.
Be happy about your growth, in which of course you can’t take anyone with you, and be gentle with those who stay behind; be confident and calm in front of them and don’t torment them with your doubts and don’t frighten them with your faith or joy, which they wouldn’t be able to comprehend.
Seek out some simple and true feeling of what you have in common with them, which doesn’t necessarily have to alter when you yourself change again and again; when you see them, love life in a form that is not your own and be indulgent toward those who are growing old, who are afraid of the aloneness that you trust.
And don’t expect any understanding; but believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it.”

Kathleen and I were sitting outside a Starbucks, near the beach at San Diego (aka Heaven on Earth), listening to Sue Lie’s Multidimensional Leadership Workshop, when the Arcturians said that now was a time when people were moving from isolation and connecting one-on-one to connecting in small groups.
Well, you can bet your boots that Kathleen and I looked at each other and said, almost simultaneously, “That’s what we’re doing here.”
Just like clockwork, from our perspective anyways, we suddenly awoke two weeks ago from being two hermits working away on our missions to taking the show on the road. And others seem to be coming out of their seclusion as well – in this particular case, to meet with us.
And I have to say that, with the processing of that last core issue connected to my Mother’s death, I now seem to have patience, good humor, an enjoyment of the company of others, where before I was impatient, sombre, and hermit-like.
Many people we’ve been meeting have not had the company of lightworkers before. It’s as if we’ve reached an oasis together and everyone is as thirsty as can be. And sharing is the way we drink.
And sharing would be no good if there weren’t people listening. Both are needed.
Tomorrow we meet with a group of San Diego lightworkers and several days down the road, with a group of San Franciscans. And what we wanted to say to you is, heavens, don’t wait for us to come visit. Time to start creating your own small group in your own home town.
You’ve read several articles recently that speak to the tremendous loneliness that this type of work engenders in all of us. Jeannette wrote about that in her post yesterday and we received this message from a San Pedro lightworker today (generally we don’t cite the names of letter writers so we don’t embarrass anyone):
“It was so amazing to meet you and Kathleen!! It’s really inspired me to move forward in these exciting times. I can’t wait to connect with fellow Pedroites and to continue to make great connections when we move back to Edmonton. PS the postings on ‘Forgiveness’ and ‘Am I alone in this’ I could have written myself… wow. It reinforces the True Path us Loners are on and that we are united in purpose. I feel the time for me to come forward and connect is now and I am ready to serve in new and inspiring ways.”
It warms our hearts to read this. We think it’s indeed time for us all to begin coming together and take the next step – linking up – in building Nova Earth. And we have no doubt that every step we (all of us lightworkers) take at this time is guided.
It almost seems as if we’re rubbing the sleepy dust from our eyes, sharing the dreams we had, good and bad, and stretching our limbs. about to begin the next chapter and a new day.
